AMMERDOWN. Workshop: Living life authentically
requires looking closely at our values and examining how we live them out.
Then we can recognise damaging behaviour, thought and communication patterns,

and nonviolence to transform relationships of oppression and violence.
Participants of this weekend workshop will have space to reflect on and share
what living authentically means for you/us and explore how living
authentically can be a force of positive social change. We will work in a
participatory, organic way. The methods include everything from whole/small
group discussions, games, drama, drawing, quiet reflection time, video and
much more. Join Turning the Tide and St Ethelburgas Centre for Reconciliation and Peace for
this weekend workshop at the lovely Ammerdown Centre: http://www.ammerdown.org/index.htm
